Rock-ons not starting after new drive installation/reboot

Seems that this has been an issue in other scenarios as well (a thread started back in 2017 or so):

**Description**  **Steps to reproduce the issue:** 1. Restart Docker **Describe the results you received:** Docker can't boot up after a restart. An error from journal: ``` dockerd[30701]: time="2017-01-22T08:38:55.077780858Z" level=fatal msg="can't create unix socket /var/run/docker.sock: is a directory" ``` At this point `/var/run/docker.sock` is indeed, a directory. (wut?) ``` $ ls -lah /var/run/docker.sock total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Jan 22 08:37 . drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 1.2K Jan 22 08:38 .. ``` **Describe the results you expected:** To restart Docker without an error **Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):** This happened from time to time upon restart of `dockerd` daemon. After I removed this directory manually, Docker boots up easily creating a socket, but after several restarts, this issue came back. **Output of `docker version`:** ``` Client: Version: 1.12.6 API version: 1.24 Go version: go1.6.4 Git commit: 78d1802 Built: Wed Jan 11 00:23:16 2017 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 Server: Version: 1.12.6 API version: 1.24 Go version: go1.6.4 Git commit: 78d1802 Built: Wed Jan 11 00:23:16 2017 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 ``` **Output of `docker info`:** ``` Containers: 42 Running: 20 Paused: 0 Stopped: 22 Images: 14 Server Version: 1.12.6 Storage Driver: overlay Backing Filesystem: xfs Logging Driver: json-file Cgroup Driver: cgroupfs Plugins: Volume: local Network: overlay bridge null host Swarm: inactive Runtimes: runc Default Runtime: runc Security Options: apparmor seccomp Kernel Version: 4.4.0-57-generic Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS OSType: linux Architecture: x86_64 CPUs: 2 Total Memory: 7.795 GiB Name: <node-name> ID: <id> Docker Root Dir: /var/lib/docker Debug Mode (client): false Debug Mode (server): false Registry: https://index.docker.io/v1/ WARNING: No swap limit support Insecure Registries: 127.0.0.0/8 ``` **Additional environment details (AWS, VirtualBox, physical, etc.):** AWS EC2 instance

and we had at least on reports on this problem on the Rockstor forum, too.
